    SY cable glands

    oldtimespark, The GXD type, yes I use them all the time, carry them as van stock, they are a pain in the ar*e, however, when done correctly they offer good mechanical strength which is an advantage in the areas I normally work in! Paul

    How to work out csa of cable

    Rev, There is also the situation with stranded cores where one has to measure (obtain) the diameter of each strand, calculate the area of the individual strand, A=((Pi*D^2)/4), then multiply this by the number of strands to get the area of the individual conducting core. Paul

    tri-rated cable

    Peeps, The "tri-rated" bit refers to it meeting British Standards, American Standards & Canadian Standards. It is most common in machinery applications. The fine strands make it more flexible and more immune to vibration damage. I ALWAYS use it as the final connection to vibrating...

    is this make trustable for proving something is dead

    Doubtful you'll ever see an accurate DMM go to 0V unless it is connected to the same potential with no real distance between the leads, these days they are so sensitive that they can pick up the EM filed form HF lighting! Put both probes on a N bar, 0V, put one on the E bar and on elsewhere...

    is this make trustable for proving something is dead

    IIRC The HSE guide to EAWR (or similar, all, my books, are still in the office tonight) specifically prohibits the use of a multi function meter which is capable of being used on the incorrect range for proving safe isolation. Mind it may be ESC guidance etc. but there is a "quasi official"...
